Former animator Tim Burton made his feature film debut in 1985 with this inspired comedy cowritten with Phil Hartman. The story is pretty straightforward: Pee-wee Herman's (Paul Reubens) most prized possession—his shiny new bicycle—gets stolen, initiating an obsessive cross-country journey to recover it. Along the way he encounters bikers, cowboys, crooks, and a phantom trucker, and passes through the Alamo and Warner Bros. Studios. Look for Saturday Night Live alumna Jan Hooks, in her film debut, as a tour guide at the Alamo.
